I watched a history channel special on Noah not long ago. The entire gist of the movie was basically making a liar out of God and of His word in the Bible. According to them, Noah could not have gotten two of every living creature in the ark because that would be millions of species and he would have had to get hundreds of arks, but God never said anything about bringing two of every species into the ark, He said two of every KIND. For example, God could very well have had 6 dogs in the ark and from those 6 dogs, every canine species we now see could have originated!  Other scientific and biblical espositors say that at Noah's time, there could have been about 50,000 species, all of which Noah would have been able to fit in the ark. According to this TV program, however, it wasn't really an ARK, it was a series of square boats that were latched together with a top built onto it and Noah wasn't really getting the animals together because of a flood fear, he had animals on his ark for commercial purposes. Anything, ANYTHING but believe God, of course!

 

Also, there was no world wide deluge, it was regional, and they discounted any evidence that points to the ark ending up at Ararat. The glacier effect would have pushed the "ark" (that Noah didn't build) down the sides until it disintegrated at the bottom. Also, another reason the ark could never have been as big as the Bible describes (about the size of a modern-day aircraft carrier), is because Noah did not have enough time to build such a boat and because had it been that big, once the water covered the earth, the boat would have burst at the seams from the sheer size of it and sank nearly immediately. Noah could have spent 100 years to build the ark, but they don't even mention that!  At Noah's first mention in the Bible, he was 500 years old, and when he entered the ark, he was 600 years old. 

 

Of course, they also stated that there was no way the deluge could have been world wide, because even if the earth opened up and springs of water were released from the heart of the earth, it still would not have made enough water to cover the earth. And raining 40 days and nights would not produce enough water to flood the entire earth. Well, of course, that would all depend how FAST the rain came down and how HEAVY the rain was. Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows the difference between drizzle, pouring rain and a gulley-washer!  The only thing they claim that could cause that much extra water would be a huge rock many miles in diameter from outer space that consisted mostly of water hitting the earth, but then even Noah and his family would not survive the impact. What they don't even take into consideration is the fact that when God opened up the springs of the GREAT DEEP, He was referring to WATER in outer space, NOT springs under our feet and not asteroids and comets, but real WATER up there over our heads. Jesus often spoke of making His apostles FISHERS of men. That's because there really is a HUGE (really big, enormous, monstrous sized!) body of water in outer space that defies the imagination, and it is overhead up in space and in comparison, we human beings are like FISH down here underneath all of that! Why are all the space travelers in our modern day called astroNAUTS? NAUTS comes from the word NAUTICAL - referring to navigating a ship in a body of WATER!

 

The book of Job talks about Leviathan roaming about in this great deep! This TV program took the historical records of ONE ancient people and never even took into consideration all the historical data that has been discovered in MANY ancient cultures throughout the world about the world wide deluge that destroyed mankind. The whole thing was another idiotic, stupid, hollywood-style production designed to try to make a liar out of God and out of the Bible, ultra - ad nauseum.

 

All I could think of while watching it - was - what a bunch of idiots!  I can certainly understand why the whole world will go after the beast when God sends them a STRONG delusion -because so many of them (like the producers of this program) are deluded to begin with!
